Pinwheel Kids' & Teens' Phone develops a first smartphone and operating system designed for children and adolescents, with the goal of fostering healthy, long-term tech habits.

Its devices support core talk and text communication and offer a customizable set of therapist-backed apps to guide device use. The solution is aimed at families seeking a safer, parent-guided entry into mobile technology for kids and teens. Based in Austin, Texas, the company operates as a mid-sized software developer focused on child-centric digital solutions. Recent developments include the launch of a screen-free Pinwheel Home phone for younger children at CES 2026 and the introduction of a 'Multiple Caregivers' feature in 2025.
